Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes. 2007 Jan;115(1):55-7. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-958712.

Abstract

In patients with diabetes mellitus, Charcot's neuroarthropathy mainly affects major weight-bearing joints, especially the foot and ankle. Remarkably, we report a case of Charcot's joint of the wrist - an unusually rare localization in type 2 diabetic patient. A review of medical literature identified only three such cases so far.
